Huo Jinchen had an in-depth conversation with his son, but he didn't ask anything. The little guy looked downcast, drooped his head, and occasionally reached out to touch his belly.
This made Huo Chenchen couldn't help but rubbed his son's head, and said softly: "If you still feel uncomfortable, then let the doctor come and take a look at you?"
Huo Lanting shook his head: "No, I'm already fine."
Huo Jinchen didn't say anything more.
He was well aware of his son's tricks in the matter of having a stomachache, and he also knew that his son might be worried that he would ask and punish him, but this time he didn't expose it.
Immediately, I asked my son to take a good rest, and then called the childcare teacher to carefully ask the son about the details of his daily life.
When Huo Lanting went out of the room, Huo Jinchen started to get busy with his work. As the head of the Huo family's generation, he is indeed very busy, but fortunately, many documents can be processed on the Internet. Even if there is a meeting, he can also make a video conference, and he will not delay work wherever he goes.
Earlier, his son said that he was interested in Huaguo, and he was going to accompany him, but he couldn't accompany him because he had to attend an important international forum meeting. I didn't expect that the little guy would cause so many troubles in just a few days.
Huo Jinchen was processing the contract documents in his hand, but his son's listless look kept appearing in his mind.
In fact, he should have thought at the very beginning that he was so persistent in wanting to come to Huaguo. It was not because the scenery in Huaguo was particularly beautiful, nor was there any rare excitement in Huaguo that attracted him. The only thing that the little guy was interested in was Gu Yuan young girl.
Even when he mischievously managed to escape to Ji's island, it was because of that girl.
It was just a one-sided relationship, and it was never before for a son to be so obsessed with this girl.
While thinking this way, the image of the girl and her son lying side by side on the balcony sofa appeared in Huo Chenchen's mind again. Now that I think about it, the sunlight at that time was extremely warm, and the solid wood ceiling and the beige shutters on the balcony were so bright It's warm.
Her voice is also very nice, gentle and soft, like running water, you can lie there and listen slowly, and even if you fall asleep, a smile will appear on your lips.
She was clean and made him feel comfortable.
This is Huo Chenchen's conclusion after thinking about everything about that girl.
There are not many clean people in this world.
Many times, he feels that everything around him is unclean, and so are the people around him.
It wasn't until the new email reminder sounded that Huo Chenchen realized that he had been distracted for a long time.
He was slightly taken aback, which was rare for him.
I tried to read the emails and look at those numbers. I am used to reading them, but now I feel a little boring. There is even a gentle and clean voice in my mind. The voice said that Sheriff Murphy was chasing Confused and old black, but encountered a suspension bridge and couldn't get through.
In the end, Huo Jinchen finally gave up, got up, washed his hands first, changed his body inside and out, and then went to find his son.
"Lanting, can I study with you?"
In the eyes of outsiders, Huo Jinchen is a cold person, so cold that he rarely speaks, but in front of his son, he has always been gentle, even if he is unhappy, he only speaks a little harshly, and he has never even frowned in front of his son .
At this time, facing the little guy who was not feeling well, his voice was naturally more gentle.
"Okay..." Huo Lanting didn't give this father any face, and nodded listlessly, looking very reluctant.
"Good." Huo Jinchen smiled, patted his son's head, and then took his son's hand upstairs to the balcony outside his son's room.
The sunlight at this time is still very good, shining on the balcony through the same shutters, and the log-style balcony is shrouded in broken golden sunlight, which also looks warm and warm.
Huo Chenchen let the little guy sit on the lazy sofa, and then he picked up the 8-format hardcover fairy tale book, opened it, and found the page of Sheriff Murphy and the confused old black.
This was the story that kept popping up in his head today.
He tried to tell this story to his son, and when he was halfway through the story, he looked up and saw his son sitting on the sofa, touching his two little feet together and fiddling with them.
The child's feet are plump, white and lovely.
— but that's not the point.
Huo Chenchen: "Don't you like hearing this story?"
Huo Lanting, who was struggling to break off his feet, thought about it and decided to tell the truth: "I don't really like it..."
Huo Chenchen: "Why?"
Huo Lanting: "What a boring story, I can recite it all by heart, isn't it just that Sergeant Murphy chased the foolish old black, and the foolish old black fell into the river?"
Huo Chenchen thought about it too. His son had already heard this story, so of course he was not interested, so he turned to the next page: "Then let me tell you the next story."
Huo Lanting continued to shake his feet, and said boredly: "No need, I'm really not interested in such childish stories."
Huo Chenchen: "Didn't you like to listen to it before?"
Huo Lanting, who was fiddling with little feet, heard this and glanced at his father: "Dad, how do you know?"
The child looked at himself with bright black eyes, Huo Jinchen lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on the pages of the book, and said calmly: "I went upstairs to see that Miss Gu was telling you a story, so I went down first."
Huo Lanting tilted his head, frowned, looked at his father for a while, and suddenly laughed: "So Dad, you are learning from Aunt Gu!"
Huo Jinchen's skin was like jade, cool and handsome, but now there was a slight blush on the jade: "I thought you liked to listen."
Huo Lanting pursed her lips, looking quite disgusted: "Dad, can your voice be compared with Aunt Gu's? How nice does it sound? Their taste is delicious, can this be the same?"
Huo Jinchen stopped talking for a moment.
He has only been despised for one thing in his life. He thought that was his only shortcoming. He never thought that he could be so straightforwardly despised by his son.
Huo Lanting stretched a little, and then stretched his small body on the lazy sofa, with an old-fashioned expression: "Dad, people are different."
Huo Jinchen looked down at his son, his eyes were gentler than Nuan Yang's: "Lanting, Dad asks you a question."
Huo Lanting lay there, putting one of his calves on the other, strenuously forming a pair of legs, and then said slowly: "Dad, you can ask."
Huo Chenchen: "Why do you like Miss Gu so much?"
Huo Lanting put his little hands behind his head: "Why do you ask me such a difficult question, how do I know?"
Huo Lanting felt that he knew about this problem, but he didn't want to tell his father.
When Dad asked this question, he remembered how she coaxed Nie Yu that day. Because Nie Yu is her son, is that why she coaxed him so nicely, and if he wasn't cute enough, if he was naughty, she would definitely ignore her.
Huo Jinchen looked at his son's indifferent little face, and after a while, he sighed lightly.
Of course he understood what his son was thinking.
It's just that in this world, he can give him everything he wants, but he can't give him a mother.
There is no substitute for that.
He went and sat beside the child, was there with him, looked up and looked out of the window through the wooden shutters.
In the evening, the sun is pouring down, and the green grass outside the window seems to be covered with a layer of light tulle, everything becomes blurred and dreamy, and the children around me also calm down, lying there looking at the wood-grained ceiling, wondering What are you thinking.
In such a quiet time that the air echoed with tranquility, Huo Chenchen thought of the year he couldn't bear to look back on.
Because of his irreparable shortcomings, he went through the divorce procedures, and when his ex-wife left, he flung him cold words of contempt that no man could bear.
He knew that he should not care, stood up, and took the responsibility he was born to bear.
During that time, he was numb. He felt that he was a machine, and he didn't need to think or feel emotional. He just needed to complete his mission.
It was a mysterious research institute. There was an egg that had been frozen for twenty years. It came from a woman who was no longer alive. This woman possessed a rare gene, so not everyone could use it casually.
He provided his own blood sample for the other party to test, and after passing the match that was said to be extremely difficult to pass, he finally got that chance.
Nine months later, he had a child of his own.
At first I didn’t think this was my child, he didn’t have any sense of reality, but after watching him day by day, seeing him more and more like me, watching him laugh and cry, I slowly realized that this is my own flesh and blood continue.
He used all his strength to love this little thing, because he was born different from others, and it was his incompetence that allowed him to come into the world in this special way.
But now he understands that even if he tries his best to love him, there are still some regrets in his young heart.
Why is he so obsessed with following in the footsteps of a young girl? Is it because in his heart he needs a role like a mother
He can give him everything, but he cannot give him a mother.
Twenty years before his birth, his biological mother had passed away.
Facing the red glow, Huo Jinchen slowly closed his eyes.
In fact, it's good for him not to say anything, and I'm afraid that he will ask.
If he asked, what would you say, tell him your mother didn't even know you existed
Huo Lanting lay there silently, after a long time, he glanced at his father beside him.
Dad is so smart, of course he understands his own thoughts, what is there that Dad can't see clearly
Dad knew it clearly, but he didn't say anything. Is it because the person he longed for is not in this world at all
Otherwise, he would have said it.
Thinking of this possibility, Huo Lanting suddenly felt that the sunlight in front of him was very glaring, his heart was full, and he couldn't tell what it was like, and even felt that it was meaningless to lie there.
He simply sat up and went back to the room with his head down.
Huo Jinchen looked up and saw that his son's little shoulders were drooping.
At this moment, there was a nuanced pain spreading in his heart, so painful that it made him suffocate, and the sense of helplessness five years ago struck again.
Huo Jinchen clenched his fists and stood up with difficulty.
He wanted to go and do something, probably in vain, but he wanted to comfort the child, just a little bit.
At this moment, his cell phone rang.
There was no intention of answering, so Huo Jinchen hung up directly, but the voice rang again.
Huo Jinchen frowned and took it. It was Butler Duanmu.
Butler Duanmu's voice trembled unbelievably: "Sir, that Miss Gu, that Miss Gu..."
Huo Chenchen: "What's wrong?"
Butler Duanmu gritted his teeth: "Sir, you should read the investigation report."
Huo Jinchen frowned, turned on the phone, received the report, and opened it.
The contents of the report entered his eyes.
When he read it the first time, he didn't even realize what it meant, until he read it the second time, and the third time, his eyes were fixed on those words, "frozen for twenty-five years" , "Five eggs", respectively "Luo Juntian, Ji Qisen, Nie Yu, Jiang Yinfeng, unknown".
unknown…
Huo Jinchen moved slightly with his fingertips touching the screen.
Is his son the unknown
